We are interested in two key areas in the pathogenic process; microbial adherence to host tissue and microbial evasion of host defense systems. We seek to identify the molecules involved in these processes, characterize the interactions in submolecular detail using detailed biochemical methods, and articulate molecular hypotheses describing the disease process. These hypotheses are then evaluated in model systems and compared to the clinical findings in human disease. Ultimately, we seek to translate our research findings into new or improved strategies to prevent and treat infectious diseases.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Research Consortia GCC Consortium for Antimicrobial Resistance (GCC AMR)  Training Grants The Cancer Therapeutics Training Program (CTTP)  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Regents & Distinguished Professor, Director Center for Infectious and Inflammatory Diseases Texas A&M Health Science Center-Institute of Biosciences and Technology
